MET-Rx Big 100 Protein Bars, Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, 30g Protein, 9 Ct

Taste great and easy meal replacement.

This “new and improved” chocolate chip cookie dough is really not that great. It’s not even cookie dough anymore!! The top is some sort of nougat. And then there’s a crunchy something in the middle. The origianl didn’t need to be made new or improved upon. Who told y’all to do this!? Change it back… EXPEDITIOUSLY!!

Since 2010, possibly as early as 2006, I have regularly eaten these for breakfast. Thousands and thousands of dollars. These tasted great, perfect cookie dough texture, high protein and satiating as well. These new ones? Everything about them is awful now. No longer does it contain chocolate chips with real cookie dough texture. No, now it has the texture of crusty dried frosting with the texture of sand. It tastes mildly like medicine. It’s truly sad to see these go. You know for a fact they’ll never change it back as these new ingredients are so cheap I think they found them at dollar general out back in the trash. Don’t buy and just hope they don’t ruin their whole line of bars.

Pretty good protein bar. Tasty. I forget that these are not candy!

The flavor did NOT change with this new formula. Both the old and new versions of the Big 100 Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough bar have exactly the same light almond flavor. The new version is slightly less sweet, but other than that the flavors are identical. It tastes good and has no aftertaste (Of course, if you’re buying these things purely for the taste, you’ll probably prefer the Super Cookie Crunch bars). I prefer eating the new bar because the old bar was syrupy sweet and the surface of the bar was so tacky that it was sometimes difficult to peel back the wrapper. The old version wouldn’t even hold its shape; it’d bend over in my hand like it’d been left out in the sun. Also, the new formula has more protein than the old formula (30g vs 28g) and the protein appears to be the highest quality of all the Big 100 bars. Two others have a gram or two more protein, but this is the only bar that lists the proprietary V100 protein as the first ingredient. In all of the other Big 100 bars, the proprietary protein blend is further down the ingredient list, meaning that some of the 30-32 grams of protein is actually from soy and other sources. This new formula has the most V100 protein blend and appears to have the least soy. For a competitive athlete in search of quality protein, this bar is a good choice. I was initially concerned about the extra 30-50 calories and the few extra grams of fat in this new formula, but it’s been working well for me so far. The new version satiates my hunger better than the old version and serves as a better meal replacement. If I have one in place of lunch with some water I find that I'm not thinking about food again until dinner. These bars are big enough that you might sometimes find that half a bar is sufficient. If so, just cut the bar in half and put the rest in a sandwich bag until your next meal or snack. They've worked well for me both pre and post workout. If you're willing to order in bulk, you can get these directly from Met-Rx for around $1.60 per bar, shipping included. Watch for one of Met-Rx's 20% sales, and then order a large enough quantity to get free shipping (around 72 bars). Or, you can just set up auto delivery for around $1.80/bar and not have to worry about catching the sales.

These MET RX bars are my husbands favorite. The chocolate chip cookie dough. Comes with a large amount of protein and taste great. Doesn’t taste chalky like most protein bars are. He said it’s very fulfilling as he is a route driver with not a lot of time to eat. Only con of why 4 stars is this flavor is expensive and I was only able to find online. All other flavors can be purchased at Walmart and Publix for a fraction of the price.

Si te comes una quedas con ganas de una más

At the end of December i ordered a box of the chocolate chip cookie dough bars and they were amazing. I just reordered a box and they changed the recipe. The new bars are bigger and the bottom half has these crispy things in it and the cookie dough part on top is thinner and tastes different. I wish it showed that Met-RX changed the recipe because i wouldn't have bought them. The old recipe was sooo much better.
